G. Aaron Rogers, MD FACS

Dr. Aaron Rogers is an otolaryngologist whose clinical interests include the medical and procedural management of nasal and sinus disorders, including chronic sinusitis, balloon sinuplasty, allergic rhinitis, non-allergic rhinitis, nasal obstruction, and sleep-disordered breathing. His training in advanced sinus and skull base techniques was completed at Emory University, where extensive experience was obtained in endoscopic sinus surgery under the supervision of academic rhinologists and endoscopic skull base surgeons. Research efforts during residency included work involving chronic sinusitis, nasal polyposis, and the effects of topical glucocorticoids on nasal and respiratory mucosa.

Dr. Rogers has been elected to Atlanta’s Top Doctors for 10 straight years now (2016-2026, Atlanta Magazine/PRS).

At Advanced ENT, oversight of the Otolaryngic Allergy program has been provided by Dr. Rogers, with services including comprehensive allergy evaluation, allergy skin testing, and contemporary treatment approaches such as sublingual immunotherapy (“allergy drops”). Evaluation and treatment of allergic and non-allergic nasal inflammation, chronic nasal drainage, and smell disorders are also areas of ongoing clinical focus.

Balloon sinus dilation technology was introduced into the practice by Dr. Rogers following performance of Georgia’s first in-office balloon sinuplasty procedures in 2010. Since that time, balloon sinuplasty has remained an established component of treatment planning for appropriately selected patients with chronic sinusitis and sinonasal obstruction. Additional technologies incorporated into practice have included steroid-eluting sinus implants and office-based procedures for chronic rhinitis, including cryotherapy and posterior nasal nerve interventions for vasomotor rhinitis and mixed rhinitis conditions. In 2017, Georgia’s first office-based cryotherapy procedure for vasomotor rhinitis was performed by Dr. Rogers.

Clinical interests have also included treatment of nasal valve obstruction through controlled radiofrequency contouring techniques designed to improve nasal airflow in selected patients. Office-based radiofrequency ablation of benign thyroid nodules has likewise been incorporated into practice, allowing treatment of selected non-cancerous thyroid nodules under local anesthesia with ultrasound guidance.

Sleep medicine and obstructive sleep apnea management represent additional areas of professional interest. Diagnostic sleep testing, including home sleep apnea testing, has been integrated into the practice in coordination with local sleep laboratories. Management options offered through the practice include CPAP coordination, oral appliance therapy, and surgical treatment approaches for selected patients with obstructive sleep apnea and snoring disorders.

Advanced ENT’s three-dimensional cone beam CT imaging program is overseen by Dr. Rogers in his role as Medical and Technical Director. The practice’s IAC-accredited imaging platform is utilized extensively in the evaluation of sinonasal disease, nasal airway obstruction, and office-based procedural planning. Particular interest has been directed toward advanced imaging interpretation, image-guided sinus procedures, and emerging applications of artificial intelligence in ENT imaging analysis. Collaborative work has also been performed involving development and evaluation of radiologic artificial intelligence models designed to assist with interpretation of sinus and upper airway imaging studies.

Dr. Rogers has authored multiple scientific publications and educational materials, including editorial work on a nationally distributed handbook for otolaryngology trainees and contribution of a chapter to the textbook Skull Base Surgery: Techniques and Concepts. Research presentations have been delivered at national otolaryngology and rhinology meetings.

Professional memberships include the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, American College of Surgeons, American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy, and the Georgia Society of Otolaryngology. Undergraduate education was completed at Florida State University, followed by medical school training at University of South Florida and residency training at Emory University.

ENT Quick Care Urgent Clinic, Advanced Ear Nose Throat & Allergy

Hospital and surgical affiliations have included Northside Hospital, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and several outpatient surgical facilities within the North Atlanta region.
